AUSTRALIAN CRICKETER.
BRADMAN AND LANCASHIRE. Received October 27, 2.5 p.m. LONDON, Oct. 26. The Daily Telegraph, while admitting that Don Bradman will give a great fillip to Lancashire cricket, says: “No true sportsman wants' to see cricketers bought and sold like merchandise.’,’ The paper points out that Bradman took a nowise blameworthy part in the negotiations. Actually the villain of the piece was the Board of Control in deducting £SO from the bonus as a result of his journalistic activities in England. “The board’s officiousness, perhaps, was mistaken, but it is possible to sympathise with a body confronted by a slightly mutinous cricketer, backed by the nation to the last adoring man, woman and child.”
